Talk:Yivli Minaret Mosque

Yivli minare and mosque mistake
Yivli Minare refers only to the thick minaret. The mosque itself is called Alaaddin Camii or Ulu Camii (Grand Mosque). There is confusion because the mosque is famous for its minaret than its core building.--Bozaltan (talk) 07:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

You're right about the minaret and the name Ulu Camii, but Alaeddin Camii is a totally different mosque. Look at http://www.antalyamuftulugu.gov.tr/index.php/tarihi-camiler/item/223-diğer-tarihi-camiler — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olgunkin (talk • contribs) 07:33, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Yivliminare Mosque → Yivli Minaret Mosque – Plain and Simply, the current title is not the common or even the most useful formulation of this mosque's name in English, while the proposed title is what Turkiye itself has submitted as the name of the mosque in its UNESCO submission for the building. Unless we are trying to out-Turk the Turks here on English Wikipedia, I suggest we follow this, as well as the scholarly sources that split the minare off from the yivli and read it as 'minaret', which is obviously also more usefully descriptive, natural and recognizable in English - readers will instantly know that it is a mosque with a special minaret.

 * Support. Per nom. There's a lot of semi-arbitrary and inconsistent names of Turkish mosque articles, this just shows how easy it is to look up the sources and properly explain a proposed improvement. Thanks. R Prazeres (talk) 08:01, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
